Formal (or not!) Grammar or Backus-Naur Form?
Hi Angelo,
I'm so happy to have found your VCF Berlin talk on B, I'd been looking for something more concrete than the minimum I could find on Rosetta Code! Thank you so much for your talk and your work, it's hugely appreciated.
Do you have, or is it even worth having, a formal Grammar for B?
Thanks again and, Ich Wunsch dir en Frohe Weihnachten! -Rune Stephenson.
Whoops sorry for late reply. There is a grammar given here https://www.bell-labs.com/usr/dmr/www/kbman.pdf but the language evolved a bit over time.
cheers
No problems what so ever, I'm just so very grateful that you've spent time on this language at all! It's more than I'd hoped for and I have to admit, it's a language that's always intrigued/appealed to me!
I very much hope I get to show you some of my experimental this year!
I know you referred to some DEC tape reels that were really useful in rebuilding the Interpreter and so forth. I wonder if those archives might contain the B source code for the early versions of YACC?
